Bulong Pari

Bulong Pari is a traditional Filipino game which means whisper to the priest.

There should be two teams with a leader on each team. The teams are Team A and Team B. The team leaders should be away from the teams. One person from Team A will have to be the priest (Pari) and he/she will stand five meters away from both teams (it doesn't have to be exact five meters). The leader from Team B will whisper to the priest a name of a player from Team B. Then, the priest calls out "Lapit!" ("Approach") to summon one player from Team B. Team B will decide who should go. The leader will not say who the person he mentioned to the priest, but he/she might give a clue to his Team.

If it happens to be the same person mentioned by the Team B leader, the priest will say "Bang!" or else he/she will become a prisoner. The priest has 3 seconds to say "Bang!" after the person approaches. They can distract the priest. If not, then the priest will say that it is the wrong person and then, a member from Team B will have to become the priest and then play the game again.

If a team has very less players or no players at all the team loses. The goal is to keep the priest from saying bang and make him a prisoner.

Puso at Aso is also another traditional Filipino game. In this game, you need to draw a circle in the center (or a square), which is the home of the "Aso"("dog"). The home has to be big. There should be some sticks, slippers or other objects that you can easily carry inside the circle which are called the "bones". There should be two teams, Team A and Team B. One player from a team is chosen to be the aso (dog) and another player from the other team is chosen to be the puso (cat). The aso has to protect the bones from the cat by tagging the cat before it reaches to the "bones". The cat has to take the "bones" away/out from the circle. The dog can not take the bones back if they are out of the circle but he can take them if the bones are in the circle or on the line. The dog has to stay inside the circle.

The teammates can help their team member who is playing. The puso team can help the puso by distracting the aso. The aso team can help the aso by saying where the cat would be or to stay focused on the cat. If the cat is able to catch the bones the cat's team wins. If the cat was caught by the dog, the cat's team loses.

After everyone has played, the teams can swap.

I hope you like the games I play at school. You can play them as well if you're interested.
